I gave it a try, it worked fairly well, you see the geocities pop-up window
pop up only briefly, like a flash, and then it's gone.  I went to some of
my sites that have pop-up windows that the user controls by clicking on the
link to get more info, and they would pop up fine, but one site I'm working
on the pop-up killer kills the user controlled pop-ups.  I clicked on the
link to read more about "error messages" and the window pops up and then
before I can read it, shuts down that window immediately.  Haven't found
out why it prevents some user controlled pop-up windows but allows others.
